Justice Jamie Grosshans joined Georgetown Law Professor Randy Barnett at the Florida Supreme Court Historical Society’s "A Supreme Evening 2025” to discuss Barnett’s journey to originalism, a philosophy rooted in the belief that the Constitution’s meaning should remain unchanged unless formally amended.

In a fireside chat, Barnett reflected on his personal and intellectual journey, which has led him to become one of the nation’s leading proponents of originalism — a philosophy of constitutional interpretation that has gained traction in recent decades.

“Originalism can be summarized in a single sentence: The meaning of the Constitution should remain the same until it is properly changed by amendment. That’s all originalism is.”

This succinct summation by Georgetown Law Professor Randy Barnett encapsulates his commitment to a constitutional philosophy that emphasizes fidelity to the Constitution’s text and meaning.
